7 Claims.

This invention relates to an electrically heated applicator.

An object of this invention is to provide a novel and eiiicientapplicator for applying heat and liquid simultaneously to the skin, andthe applicator is primarily intended to be used in giving `beauty facialtreatments.

Another object is the construction of a novel applicator for applyingheat to the face and neck, thereby opening the pores, andat the same.time releasing a certain amount offliquid and massaging the same intothe open pores.

A still further object of this invention is the construction of anapplicator, which, at the time vthat the skin is being massaged, willallow oil to penetrate into the pores, causing the skin to assume afiner texture; this treatment removes all dirt and foreign matter fromthe pores.

This application discloses improvements over the invention disclosed inmy prior patent, No. 2,385,501, issued September 25, 1945, ElectricallyI heated applicator.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention comprisescertain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts aswill be hereinafter fully described, rillustrated A inthe accompanyingdrawings, and more particu- Figure 3 is a sectional view, taken on line3-3,l V Fig. 2, and looking in the direction of the arrow-s.

Figure 4 is an enlarged, longitudinal, sectional View of the handle ofthe applicator.

preferred embodiment of Vthis invention is illustrated, I ydesignatesthe body, 2 is the hollow neck, and 3 is the handle of the applicator.,

The body I comprises a primary section 4 with an auxiliary or capsection 5 thereon. The hollow neck section 2 is flxedly secured in anysuitable manner to the auxiliary section 5. At the -center of theprimary section 4 is an upstanding annular flange 6, which receives thelower or outer end of the primary sleeve '1, Fig. 2. The flange 6 andsleeve 'l are xedly secured together by any ordinary means. The primaryysleeve l extends above the cap or auxiliary section 5, and the extendedend is externally threaded, and on this threaded portion is threaded theauxiliary sleeve 8 (Fig. 2). The auxiliary sleeve 8 is normally tightagainst the auxiliary ysection 5, whereby the primary section 4 andthrough the primary sleeve 1 and annular bottle rest 9. This screw I0performs a dual function, to wit: it securely holds the bottle rest 9 inposition and at the same time acts as a thread for threading thecontainer or bottle I I into position. The bottle II is provided withthreads I2 that are screwed upon the inner end of screw I0 when thebottle is being positioned Within the applicator.

A brake device is provided for securely holding the bottle II inposition against accidental displacement. This brake device comprises acoil spring I3 (Fig. 3) that surrounds the lower portion of the primarysleeve I. This spring I3 has a V-shaped portion I4 that normally extendsthrough registering apertures in sleeve 1 and bottle rest 9; thisV-shaped portion is normally positioned between two contiguous threadson the bottle II (Fig. 2). Therefore, there is always a binding action,in the nature of a brake, exerted on the inserted bottle, which preventsthe bottle from having accidental movement.

The handle 3 of the applicator comprises a cylindrical casing I5 on theends of which are mounted outer cap I 6 and inner cap I'I. Thread- 25.

ed into the inner cap I'I is the hollow neck 2. This hollow neck extendsinto the cylindrical casing I5 beyond the inner face of the inner cap I'I. Extending into the outer cap I6 is an externally threaded sleeve I8.On the inner ends Yof the hollow neck 2 and sleeve I8 is threaded thebre tubing I9. A lock ring 20 is on sleeve I8 against the outer face ofthe outer cap I6. Within the fibre tubing I9 is a xed plate 2l. Aregulator screw 22 is mounted on the fibre tubing I9. This screw 22 isto adjust the switch,

blade 23, as the operator desires. The inner end of the switch blade 23is fastened to the bre tubing I9 by small bolts 24. A slidable switchplate 25 (Fig. 1) is mounted on the cylindrical ca-sing I5 and integral'with this switch plate 25 is a contact lug 26, whereby slidingadjustment of the switch plate 25 longitudinally of the handle willcause the contact lug to either move away from contact with the switchblade 23 or into contact therewith for closing the circuit. The wire 2lis passed into the fibre tubing I9 and thence wound around said tubingin a coil at 28 and thence passed to the left and inot the hollow neck 2and body I, forming a heating lcoil 29, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. Thewire 30 is passed into the libre tubing I9 and is fastened under the nuton one of the bolts 24. Under contact lug 26 is the xed plate 2|. Theinner end of wire 3l is fastened under the fixed plate 2| (Fig. 4),whereby when the contact lug 26 is in engagement with the switch blade23, a complete circuit is created so that electricity is supplied to theheating coil 29, resulting in the body I and the liquid contained in thebottle II being heated,l

as the operator desires.

In Fig. 3, a fluid control device is indicated at 32, Fig. 3. This uidcontrol device is in the container or bottle Il and the detailedconstruction of this device 32 is specifically disclosed in my copendingapplication iled January 7, 1947, Serial No. 720,579.

The wires 21 and 30 are a part of an ordinary electric plug device,whereby the applicator can be supplied with electricity by plugging inany outlet of a dwelling or building.

When it is desired to take the applicator apart, the operator rstremoves the lock ring 20 and then the cap I6, whereupon the cap I1 withthe fibre tubing IS and sleeve I8 can be removed from the cylindercasing l5. If the fibre tubing I9 is to be examined, the removal of thesleeve I8 and the hollow neck 20 will permit inspection of the interiorof said fibre tubing i9.

When it is desired to examine the interior of the hollow body i, theoperator first removes the auxiliary sleeve 8 and then lifts oir theauxiliary section 5, resulting in the exposure of the interior of theprimary section il.

I have found from practical experience that this applicator producesexcellent results, is easily manipulated, and is durable inconstruction.

While I have described the preferred embodiment of my invention andillustrated the same in the accompanying drawings, certain minor changesor alterations may appear to one skilled in the art to which thisinvention relates during the extensive manufacture of the same, and I,therefore, reserve the right to make such changes or alterations asshall fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.
